[QUOTE="Nearly, post: 5428730, member: 149"] Knowing of Mr Houseman a little, they have invested and expanded and are fully committed to the next generation of cheap labour. ;) For the new green field units to thrive it needs a lot of the smaller and medium sized producers to fall by the wayside. It's part of their business plan - no-one want a surplus of milk. I went to a farm business management weekend 22 years ago and the Barclays / Andersons / Reaseheath mantra was 'Get on or get out'. I looked around for a year or two and decided we were better of [B]not[/B] spending £500k on a new 300 cow dairy unit and £500k on quota on 150 acres upland farm. We got out. Good luck to them.
